An Israel expert claims the Biden administration asked them how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be toppled from power.
President Joe Biden has in recent weeks sharpened his rhetoric on the Israeli response to the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas.
His administration has grown increasingly unhappy with the mounting civilian death toll, now at more than 30,000, in Gaza from bombings and ground operations.
Biden has repeatedly criticized Israel's heavy-handed approach, calling it 'over the top' and urging a ceasefire to help starving civilians.
Then after the State of the Union, he was caught on a hot mic telling Democratic colleagues he planned to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting with Netanyahu.
Biden has known Netanyahu for 50 years and is a staunch ally of Israel, but the insider implied he could be at least discussing to option of removing him.
'I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse,' the Israel expert told New York Magazine.
'They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.'
Unlike the American political system, where the Republican and Democratic Parties dominate, Israel has numerous small parties that must team up to govern.
If enough of Netanyahu's coalition partners pulled out, his Lukid Party would not have enough support for him to remain prime minister.
Former Israeli ambassador to the US Itamar Rabinovich told NY Mag the White House has been unhappy with Netanyahu for years.

I think I’ve used enough asterisks for today. ;^)
“ This is not our fight”
Correct. So stop sending bombs and ammunition.
Sorry Pres, the Refah op has already begun and will not stop until completed, despite the large build up of Egyptian army troops and tanks on the other side of the border
You mean, he wants to collude with the opposition?
Everything Biden administration does weakens USA, our defenses, our economy, our civil liberties, our constitution (which he’s sworn to uphold), and our moral values.
He’s taking orders from the same evil cabal that ran Obama
That is why Biden’s cronies kept BiBi in the dark before the Oct 7th attack, they needed it to happen in order to dismantle BiBi
“”the civilian death toll, now at more than 30,000”
“Prove it”
Yep, Media like the Daily Mail and all USA outlets gladly do the bidding of Hamas by parroting Hamas supplied casualty numbers. Disgusting. Not even a disclaimer of “alleged” or “Hamas reported”
OphonyBama is a LIEberal!
LIEberals LIE!
OphonyBama LIEs!
Next question?
The majority of those killed in Gaza are Hamas TERRORISTS which Hamas itself puts in with the death toll of civilians..yeah those same civilians who openly cheered the Oct 7th attacks, helped Hamas kidnapped hostages, and passed out candy and cookies when our towers came down on 9/11
If Israel is allowed to clear Rafah, they’ll be able to close off the networks of smuggling tunnels from Egypt (nobody expects that they’ll close all of them off forever, but they can shut down a good percentage for a while.
If you shut down the smuggling tunnels, it will take Hamas much longer to rearm, and it will lower their control over the Gazan economy. It won’t shut down all of it, and unless something steps into the vacuum that Hamas leadership used to hold, Hamas will step right back into it, but shutting down the tunnels destabilizes Hamas.
If all that happens, and especially if some of the Hamas leaders get located and dealt with, Netanyahu can declare victory, and he’ll be politically popular and will stay in power longer.
That’s the bit that all the political leaders hiding behind fake concerns about humanitarian disasters really can’t stand.
Putlin's chemobrain has his hand on the button to nuke Jonesboro, Illinois. LOFL.
3. Make no mistake: Joe Biden is but a shadow of the man he once was.
at least now we know where US intelligence has helped to hide Hamass Terrorists... and have just told Israel where the next target rich environment is... clearly... biden says stay away from Rafah...
he is not a clever liar... so this MUST be where the bulk of remaining evil doers are... right?
According to Tablet Magazine, a highly placed source confirmed that it was also Biden who pressured Ukraine into voting ‘yes’ on UN Resolution 2334 which declared that Jewish settlements in the West Bank (including the Old City of Jerusalem) were in violation of international law.
But in fact, we have an example on the record when Biden actually did angrily confront a world leader — Menachem Begin, prime minister of Israel.
The Begin Center Diary blog has the full text of an article in The Jerusalem Post by Moshe Zak, written on March 13, 1992, describing how Biden, when he was a Senator, lost his temper with Israeli PM Menachem Begin during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing:
During that committee hearing, at the height of the Lebanon War, Sen. John Biden (Delaware) had attacked Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria and threatened that if Israel did not immediately cease this activity, the US would have to cut economic aid to Israel.
When the senator raised his voice and banged twice on the table with his fist, Begin commented to him: “This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do?
We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.” [emphasis added]
But ironically, in this case, where there is a clear example of Biden giving an ultimatum to a world leader, Biden himself is eager to deny that it ever happened.
Depends
More election interference!
This is the work of the #JihadJunta, Sotero, Jarrett, Brennan, Rice and their Useful Idiots, like “Team Mitch,” ChuckU (How ironic), and the rest of the fetid swamp.
